Dental Materials Testing
There are currently several thousand dental restoration materials available on the market today and it’s important to understand how vigorously or minimally these materials will react with the body’s immune system. Biological Dentists can use a variety of testing techniques to determine what materials used in restorations, appliances, crowns, dentures, implants and anesthetics are compatible,…
Read MoreNatural and Alternative Care
Natural therapies are health treatments that are not standard in Western medical practices. Whereas traditional medicine treats symptoms and problems, alternative medicine uses non-drug remedies that rely on the body’s innate healing abilities. These therapies focus on cause and prevention, strengthening the immune system, and maintaining overall health.
Read MoreCounseling – Food Allergies
While any severe food allergy is a significant challenge, parents of children with multiple-allergic conditions face a particularly steep learning curve in working toward a normal life. Daily fear about an allergic reaction may be ever-present. Food allergy counselors assist patients and parents not only in coping with food avoidance, but in learning to live…
Read MorePanoramic X-Rays
A Panoramic X-Ray gives the dentist a “snapshot” or overview of the entire mouth and jaws including: all the teeth, the TMJ and the sinus cavity. It uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to capture the entire mouth in one image. It is commonly performed by dentists and oral surgeons in everyday practice…
Read MoreOligoScan
OligoScan is a simple, painless and non-invasive procedure that uses spectrophotometry to measure the optical density of the trace elements, minerals and heavy metals present in the tissues. This information can be used for supplement needs, correcting imbalances, detoxifying metals and addressing health issues.
Read MoreOccipital Drop
The Occipital Drop is a mechanism in which one can measure the body’s wisdom. In response to a challenge, the occipital bone (along with the mastoid process of the temporal) appears to drop or lower on one side. To detect this, hands are placed on either side of the head to determine the relative position.…
Read MoreMetabolic Testing
Metabolic testing measures the oxygen that the body consumes. Using this measurement, it calculates number of calories that an individual burns at rest in a day. It can be used to screen for slow metabolism and to construct a truly customized weight loss program.

LEAP stands for Lifestyle Eating and Performance and is titled “The Ultimate Anti-Inflammatory Diet”. This diet is completely individualized based on one’s Mediator Release Test results. From the MRT blood test, the therapist can identify foods and chemical additives your body is reacting to. A comprehensive eating plan is then personalized for your test results…
Read MoreGalvanic Testing
Having dissimilar metals in the mouth (e.g.-mercury-containing amalgam combined with gold, crown metal alloys, stainless steel, orthodontic brackets and wires, partial denture frameworks, and titanium implants) causes galvanic action – electrical currents where mercury vapor can be released into saliva and enters oral tissues. Measuring the oral currents allows defining the currents’ intensity.
Read MoreEpigenetics
Epigenetics involves genetic control by factors other than an individual’s DNA sequence. Epigenetic changes can switch genes on or off and determine which proteins are transcribed. Epigenetics offer the possibility of novel interventions that might prevent or ameliorate certain diseases.
